1. What makes peptide signalling potentially precise?

A peptide can have affinity for a particular receptor or biological targetAll peptides act everywhere equallyThe syringe colour determines the targetThe peptide name determines the target

2. Which statement best describes the peptide field?

It includes both established medicines and active research areasIt is only theoretical researchIt only includes insulinEvery peptide has the same level of evidence and the same use

3. GLP-1-based medicines are a useful example because they show that peptide signalling can strongly influence:

Appetite, glucose regulation and body weightOnly hair colourOnly bone lengthOnly hydration

4. GHK-Cu is commonly researched in which broad area?

Skin, collagen and connective-tissue biologyOnly blood pressureOnly kidney filtrationOnly sleep timing

5. Why does the Academy teach mechanisms before calculators and protocols?

So you understand what a peptide is trying to influence before dealing with practical detailsBecause the practical details never matterBecause all protocols are identicalBecause calculators explain biology
